THE CRUST

INGREDIENTS

1 cup almonds or almond meal

1 cup LSA (linseed, sunflower seed, almond) meal

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon gluten free baking soda

2 large eggs or 3 small

Italian herbs (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (355 Fahrenheit).

In a food processor, blend almonds until a fine meal is formed. Add in LSA, salt and baking soda until combined well.

If using almond meal, simply combine ingredients in a bowl.

If using herbs, add now.

Add eggs and blend until a ball begins to form. This can be done in either a food processor or by hand.

Roll and press onto baking tray so the dough is 5mm thick.

Cook in oven for 10 minutes or it begins to turn golden brown.

Spoon on my signature specialised homemade tomato sauce and top with your favourite pizza toppings. Return to cook for a further 10-15 minutes, then add avocado, rocket or any other special treats you like 🙂
